ORKG Ask – a scientific search and exploration system – helps researchers find the scientific articles they are really looking for
To mark the 5th anniversary of the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG), the TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology is launching the new ORKG Ask service.
ORKG Ask utilises the potential of combining large language models with the comprehensive ORKG knowledge graph to answer scientific questions directly and efficiently. Driven by a semantic search system, knowledge is automatically extracted from
language models to provide active support in answering scientific questions.
How ORKG Ask works
Researchers can enter their question in natural language at https://ask.orkg.org/ and receive answers compiled from relevant scientific articles. Thanks to an in-built bibliography manager, ORKG Ask can be easily integrated into the work process. The connection to knowledge graphs, specifically also to the ORKG, allows a more detailed search.
ORKG Ask uses a database of 80 million full-text scientific publications to provide researchers, academics and the interested public with syntheses and information on research questions.
A new era of scientific research
ORKG Ask marks the beginning of a new era in scientific research. By integrating advanced language models with ORKG’s structured and continuously expanding knowledge graph, this service enables fast and informed answers to research questions across diverse scientific disciplines. This represents a significant advance that fundamentally changes the way academic information is retrieved and analysed.
Functions and advantages of ORKG Ask at a glance
● Access to 80 million publications: Users can draw from a comprehensive database of scientific papers.
● Fast answers: By using large language models, ORKG Ask provides fast and accurate answers to complex scientific questions
● In-depth insights: The ORKG Knowledge Graph organises and structures information so that users can identify deep insights and connections.
● Interdisciplinary research: ORKG Ask promotes interdisciplinary research and supports scientists in working beyond the boundaries of their own specialisms.
“With ORKG Ask, we are setting a new standard for accessing and analysing scientific information. This tool will not only enrich the research landscape, but also contribute to expanding the boundaries of what is possible in science,” said Prof Dr Sören Auer, Director of the TIB and head of the ORKG team, on the launch of the service.
The development of ORKG is being driven forward at the TIB in collaboration with various organisations and initiatives such as the L3S research centre at Leibniz Universität Hannover, the EULiST European Universities Linking Society and Technology alliance, the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI), the European Research Council (ERC), the Leibniz Association and the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC).

About the ORKG
The Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) is a service that aims to revolutionise the way scientific knowledge is shared and used. By creating a structured, searchable knowledge graph, the ORKG makes scientific information more accessible and usable for the global research community.
About TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology
The TIB provides science, research, industry and business with literature and information. The library is committed to openness and free access – Open Access – to information, publications and scientific data: it aims to make information and knowledge more easily accessible, more transparent and easier to reuse. The TIB is constantly expanding its role as the German information centre for the digitisation of science and technology. It provides scientific content, digital services and methodological expertise for specialist and research communities at www.tib.eu in order to support the various phases of scientific work. Via its research and ordering portal, the library offers access to more than 95 million technical and scientific data records indexed by the TIB. The excellent, quality-tested collection also includes scientific objects such as audiovisual media, 3D models and research data. Using specially developed search technologies, the content of scientific videos from technology and the natural sciences can be searched precisely in the TIB’s AV portal (https://av.tib.eu/).TIB conducts applied research and development in order to generate new services and optimise existing ones.The focus is on data science, non-textual materials, open science and visual analytics.TIB is a foundation under public law of the state of Lower Saxony and a member of the Leibniz Association.
